Welcome to the Coding Lab! It kicks off with a fun reveal: Eon's dad lets him in on a secret — he's a software developer.
What's a developer?
A developer is a person who builds the apps, games, and programs we use every day. That game on the tablet? The video app? A real person made it by writing code. Developers are the makers behind the screen.
The big idea of this series
The best part: you don't just have to use what others build — you can build your own. Over the Coding Lab series, Eon learns to create apps and games from scratch. As his dad puts it, they're entering "the wild west of coding."
Try it
Look at your favorite game or app. Somebody had to decide every button, every rule, every picture. That somebody is a developer — and you can become one too.
